the acid test

domaine de la janasse chateauneuf du pape vielles vignes 2006 (g+bits of s & m, supposedly 80 to 100 yr old vines)

puplish ruby; fresh fruit hits you, plum, raspberries, spice?, cedar?; fruit again (heaps, concentrated, perfectly ripe ... not over ripe, quite nice actually ...), pepper, star anise(hint), cinnamon, syrupy feel; some fine ripe tannins ... would have loved much more of it; here's the problem ... acid AWOL; unbalanced due to the lack of the latter ...; how's it gonna age?; longish; b*ll busting 15.5%; gets tiring after a coupla glasses, this is not refreshment; POP and way too expensive; 4 cylinder bmw with leather seats, cupholders and a bodykit; any of the st. cosme, roger sabon or barrot stuff would be preferable to this punter... and cheaper; give me a used 350z anyday. the other found it rather nice though 8-0

and what do the sages say,
big bob 96, tanker 95, speculum 94 ...

i say ... aarggh. another inspired choice by that denizen of the hole ... you know who you are ...
